Oscars Record Holders: Academy Award Nominees and Winners - Us Weekly By Allison Takeda Meryl Streep, Anthony Hopkins, and Walt Disney are among those who hold Oscar records for nominations and wins at the Academy Awards Credit: Michael Buckner/Getty Images; Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images; Apic/Getty Images Roll out the red carpet -- the 2014 Oscars are just around the corner! In celebration of the 86th Academy Awards, airing live from L.A.'s Dolby Theatre on Sunday, March 2, Us Weekly is taking a look back at nearly nine decades of wins, losses, upsets, and more fun facts. Which Hollywood legend has 59 nominations? Which star won a leading actor trophy for just 16 minutes of screen time? We've got the answers -- and more Oscars record-holders -- in the roundup below! Not surprisingly, the actress with the most total acting nominations is Meryl Streep , who has earned 18 nominations for films including Out of Africa, The Bridges of Madison County, The Devil Wears Prada, Julie & Julia, and this year's August: Osage County.

Three of those 18 nominations resulted in wins, for 1979's Kramer vs. Kramer, 1982's Sophie's Choice, and 2011's The Iron Lady. PHOTOS: Oscars dress predictions -- what J. Law, Lupita, and other stars should wear on the red carpet The male record-holder for most total acting nominations is Jack Nicholson , who has been up for an Oscar 12 times since 1969. His nominated performances include roles in Easy Rider, Chinatown, and About Schmidt. Like Streep, he has three wins under his belt, for 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, 1983's Terms of Endearment, and 1997's As Good As It Gets. In the category of youngest Oscar winners ever, there are two record-holders. Shirley Temple, who won the Honorary Juvenile Award at age 6 in 1934, is the youngest overall, but Tatum O'Neal is the youngest in the standard competitive categories.

She earned a Best Supporting Actress trophy for Paper Moon in 1973, when she was 10 years old. Take a look at some other Academy Award record-holders: Oldest Honorary Oscar winner: art director Robert F.

News Meryl Streep Is the Most Oscar-Nominated Actress Ever, Jennifer Lawrence Becomes Youngest Three-Time Nominee By Email Steve Granitz/Jason Merritt/Getty Images Everyone's still buzzing about the 2014 Oscars nominations from this morning, but the Academy Awards have been around since 1929! Meryl Streep , whose August: Osage County performance earned her a Best Leading Actress nod Jan. 16, has received more acting nominations (18!) than any other actress. The late Katharine Hepburn (who is the second most nominated actress with 12 nods) currently holds the record for being the actress with the most wins (four). Meryl, with three Academy Awards already under her belt, could tie for this honor if she scores a win this year for August: Osage County. NEWS: Check out the full list of 2014 Oscar nominees! Jennifer Lawrence who was just nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in American Hustle, is the youngest three-time nominee ever at age 23.

She won a 2013 Academy Award for role in Silver Linings Playbook, but was first nominated at 20 for her role in 2011's Winter's Bone. She also happens be the youngest actor nominated for an Oscar in 2014. But Tatum O'Neal, who won an Oscar for 1973's Paper Moon at just 10 years old, is the youngest winner in any acting category ever, while Quvenzhané Wallis , who was nominated in 2012's Beast of the Southern Wild at age 9, is the youngest ever nominee. NEWS: 2014 Oscars snubs and surprises So which film has theearned the most nominations of all time? All About Eve (1950) is tied with Titanic (1997) for this honor, with both movies scoring 14 nods each. Titanic stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet also have a place an Oscars history. Leo scored his fourth nod today for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street,.

Kate's performance in Labor Day didn't earn her a nomination, but she won an Oscar in 2008 for The Reader before and has been nominated six times in total.

EROR by Bernardo Bertolucci is the only film produced outside of America or Britain to have received the ultimate award for Best Motion Picture.

However it was not a foreign language film, and so was not nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1998 ROBERTO BEGNINI (who won Best Actor and Best Foreign Film awards as the writer/director/star of "Life is Beautiful") became only the second person to have won an Oscar for acting in a foreign language film. SOPHIA LOREN, who presented Begnini with the award for Best Foreign Film, was the first: she won Best Actress in 1961 for her performance in "Two Women". Since then, MARION COTILLARD has become the third foreign language recipent, winning Best Actress for the 2007 French film "La Vie En Rose".

Only six films have won both an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and other Academy Awards as well: The 1963 winner, Fellini's "8½" (Italian) also won an Oscar for Best Costume Design; "A MAN AND A WOMAN" (French, 1966) also won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar; Costa-Gavras's "Z" (French/Algerian) in 1969 also won for Film Editing; and Ingmar Bergman's "FANNY AND ALEXANDER" (Sweden, 1983) won 3 further Oscars for Cinematography, for Art Direction and for Costume Design. 1998's winner, "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL" (Italian) also received the Best Actor award for Roberto Benigni and a music award for Best Original Dramatic Score. And most recently, Ang Lee's "CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON" (Taiwan, 2000) won 3 further Oscars for Cinematography, for Art Direction & Set Design, and for Original Music Score.

DIRECTORS The Winners List JOHN FORD holds the record for most "Best Directing" awards - four in total, from five nominations, from 1935 (for "The Informer"), 1940 ("The Grapes Of Wrath"), 1941 ("How Green Was My Valley") and 1952 (for "The Quiet Man"). Intriguingly for the architect of the cinematic American west, none are Westerns - "Stagecoach" (1939), his only other directing nomination, failed to win him an award and "The Searchers" (1952) was passed over completely. As for other directorial achievers, only FRANK CAPRA and WILLIAM WYLER stand close with three awards each, although Wyler's three (for "Mrs Miniver" (1942), "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946) and the epic 1959 "Ben-Hur") came from 14 nominations - the most nominations ever achieved by a film director. JOSEPH L. MANKIEWICZ deserves a special mention for his efforts in Directing for 1949.

He achieved Best Director in that year for "A Letter To Three Wives", but the film itself failed to achieve Best Picture - instead that honour went to "All The King's Men"... also directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz! MANKIEWICZ also went on to achieve a rare "follow-on" Oscar in the next year (1950) for directing "All About Eve", something that has otherwise only happened to JOHN FORD (in 1941 and 1942 for "The Grapes Of Wrath" and "How Green Was My Valley"). ALFRED HITCHCOCK (the renowned "Master of Suspense") never won a single award for Best Director - not even when his film "Rebecca" (1940) was voted Best Motion Picture... Among the film profession, many (who ultimately also do the voting) found the Master difficult to work with...

Another maverick, STANLEY KUBRICK (who died in 1999 and was responsible for such films as "Spartacus", "Paths Of Glory", "Dr.Strangelove", "A Clockwork Orange", "2001: A Space Oddysey" and "The Shining") never won a Best Director's award. Nor did did the influential but independent film-maker ROBERT ALTMAN (whose films included "Mash", "Nashville" and "Gosford Park"). And none of their films achieved Best Motion Picture either. Even MARTIN SCORSESE (whom many film critics call "the greatest American director alive today"...) spent many years in the "Oscar" wilderness until securing the 2006 "double" of Best Director and Best Film with "The Departed" (a film which curiously failed to attract any Best Actor/Actress nominations, let alone awards). MUSIC The Songwinners' List From 1934 until 1971, every award for Best Original Song went to a "Tin Pan Alley"-type ballad only (although most of the winning songs were and have remained classics).

But after the start of popular rock'n'roll in the mid-1950s, still no rock, soul or blues song won the top award - not even an Elvis movie song - until ISAAC HAYES broke the mould with 1971's soul music "Theme From Shaft"". Since then, the awards have recognised other rhythmic song-styles but the preferred choice among Academy voters is still for laid-back or MOR songs with lyrics usually associated with romance. Only three songwriters have won the top award with uncompromising lyrics - the performing artists BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN with "Streets of Philadelphia" for 1993, BOB DYLAN with "Things Have Changed" for 2000, and EMINEM with "Lose Yourself" for 2002. The prolific popular songwriter RANDY NEWMAN was nominated 15 times (8 for Best Score, 7 for Best Song) before finally winning at his 16th attempt with the song "If I Don't Have You" at the ceremony for 2001. Since then "We Belong Together", his 20th nomination, has won him a second Oscar.

At the other end of the musical scale, maestro composer and arranger JOHN WILLIAMS remains at the top of the music lists with five awards from 45 nominations (41 for Best Dramatic Score and four for Best Song). His works include the scoring of "Jaws" (1975), "Star Wars" (1977), "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) and "Schindler's List" (1993). Apart from "Best Original Score" and "Best Original Song", there is a third musical Award category still in existence - "Best Original Musical". Due however to continuous insufficient eligibility each year, it has not been awarded since 1984 (when won by "Purple Rain"). COLOUR Throughout its first 73 years until March 2002, the Best Actor Oscar had only been won by a black man once - by SIDNEY POITIER for "The Lilies In The Field" in 1963, despite the emergence of strong roles for coloured actors and actresses from the 1960s onwards.

Meanwhile, only three black American actors had won the Best Supporting category, and all comparatively late on: LOUIS GOSSET Jr (1982), DENZIL WASHINGTON (1989) and CUBA GOODING Jr (1996); and in the female arena only WHOOPIE GOLDBERG (1990) had matched the singular achievement of Best Supporting Actress 51 years earlier by HATTIE McDANIEL (1939). Finally in 2002 the 74th Award show saw Afro-Americans win both top honours, and both in the same year - Best Actress for the first time, and Best Actor again at last: first HALLE BERRY (for her 2001 performance in "Monsters Ball") and then DENZIL WASHINGTON (for his portrayal of a bad cop in "Training Day"). Two years later JAMIE FOXX was nominated in both acting categories (the only person ever to have achieved this double) for his Leading Role in the biopic "Ray" (for which he won the Oscar) and his Supporting Role in "Collateral".

ACTORS The Winners List Several actors have won 2 oscars in their careers, but only WALTER BRENNAN and JACK NICHOLSON have achieved a record 3 Oscars for Best Acting in Leading and/or Supporting roles. LAURENCE OLIVIER was nominated 11 times (10 for acting roles) during his career - a record only surpassed recently by JACK NICHOLSON with his 12th acting nomination in 2002. SPENCER TRACY was the only actor ever to achieve the Best Actor award two years in succession (in 1937 and 1938, for "Captains Courageous" and "Boys Town") - until TOM HANKS repeated the feat in 1993 and 1994 (for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump")... The only other actor to achieve a near-similar "repeat" accolade is JASON ROBARDS, who won the award for Best Supporting Actor in both 1976 and 1977 (for "All The President's Men" and "Julia").

BARRY FITZGERALD is the only person ever to have been nominated for the same role in both Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor categories, after his 1944 performance as a priest in "Going My Way". He ultimately won the award for Best Support, the Best Actor award going instead to the film's fellow priest and crooner BING CROSBY... Since then, the Academy's rules have been changed to prevent a nomination in both categories. Several people have been nominated for different portrayals of the same character (either in the same film or in different films), but MARLON BRANDO (for "The Godfather", 1972) and ROBERT DeNIRO (for "The Godfather II", 1974) are the only persons to have actually won Oscars for performances as the same character (being that of Don Corleone). ACTRESSES The Winning List KATHERINE HEPBURN achieved and still holds the record of four Oscars for Best Female Acting in a Leading and/or Supporting role.

Nominated 12 times (and all for Leading Roles only) during a span of 48 years, her four Oscars were awarded for 1933 ("Morning Glory"), 1967 ("Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"), 1968 ("The Lion In Winter") and 1981 ("On Golden Pond"). Among all other actresses only INGRID BERGMAN has approached close to Hepburn's unique feat, with 3 Oscars awarded for 1944 ("Gaslight"), 1956 ("Anastasia") and 1974 (with her Supporting Role in "Murder On The Orient Express"). Ingrid Bergman's tally is perhaps all the more remarkable considering that she was ostracised by the Hollywood community for several years after 1948 because of her married affair with Roberto Rossellini (Italian director of "Stromboli").

LUISE RAYNER was the only actress ever to achieve the Best Actress award two years in succession (in 1936 and 1937, for "The Great Ziegfeld and "The Good Earth") - until KATHERINE HEPBURN did the "double" in 1967 (for "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner") and 1968 (for "The Lion In Winter"). Curiously Hepburn's "two-in-a-row" feat also happened to match the previous achievement of her partner SPENCER TRACY... Surprisingly, MERYL STREEP has just two Oscars (for a Supporting Role in 1979's "Kramer vs. Kramer" and a Leading Role in 1988's "Sophie's Choice"). With her 12th acting nomination (and 10th in a leading role) for 1999's "Music Of The Heart" she equalled the record for most-nominated actress set in 1981 by Katherine Hepburn, and surpassed it with her 13th nomination for a Supporting Role in 2002's "Adaptation".

She still holds the record to the present day ("Doubt" in 2008 and "Julie and Julia in 2009 being her 15th and 16th nominations in a 31 year span comprising 13 for Best Actress and 3 for Best Supporting Actress).

OSCARS The Academy Awards or The Oscars (the official title was rebranded as The Oscars in 2013 – changed from The Academy Awards) is an annual American awards ceremony honoring cinematic achievements in the film industry. The various category winners are awarded a copy of a statuette, officially the Academy Award of Merit, that is better known by its nickname Oscar. The awards, first presented in 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, are overseen by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

The awards ceremony was first televised in 1953 and is now seen live in more than 200 countries. The Oscars is also the oldest entertainment awards ceremony; its equivalents, the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for theatre, and the Grammy Awards for music and recording, are modeled after the Academy Awards. The Academy Awards are widely considered to be the most prestigious cinema awards ceremony in the world. The 86th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 2, 2014, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The 87th Academy Awards is scheduled for February 22, 2015. Historically given during the first quarter of the new year, the awards honor achievements for cinematic accomplishments for the preceding year. This lends confusion when chronologically describing the awards. For example, 12 Years a Slave was awarded Best Picture for 2013, although the Oscar ceremony was conducted in 2014. Category
